ABRAHAM, ISAAC, JACOB (Israel)
From the Bible, we learn that there is only one true God, not many gods. We read about individuals to whom God spoke-persons like Abraham, Isaac, Jacob (Israel), Moses, Miriam, and Deborah. They did what God asked them to do, and from them came a people known as the Twelve Tribes of Israel.
The Bible’s story of the chosen people is filled with ups and downs. They had great gifts for doing good. But they also disobeyed God and failed to carry out their mission. The Bible is a record of their successes and failures, and their victories and defeats. God did not choose them to be pampered favorites. Israel was to be God’s suffering servants to bless the world.
In Christ,
